Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

joelsmith190 I like crime thrillers. It's one of my favorite genres, though I haven't seen many good ones in the medium of film. Most of the time, I'm reading them, like some of Kellerman's or Grisham's. Most movie crime thrillers just seem to fizzle out, though there are some classics, if they tend to be critically panned. Yesterday, I watched Hollywood Homicide on Netflix and finished with mixed feelings.It promises to be both a comedy and a crime thriller, and it fails at both. There's maybe one point where I genuinely laughed because something funny happened, and about ten times where I just shook my head at the failed attempts at humor. The crime thriller aspect is ruined because there is literally zero mystery after about 10 minutes of the film when they literally show you who's the bad guy. Wow, you literally took away the entire point of crime thrillers: figuring out who done it and why. And the execution of telling you this is poor at best.The action is few and far between and isn't very well executed. The acting isn't all that great. It does have Harrison Ford as the leading character, but nor are there any other memorable names or does he do a great job himself. The characters are either bland or unlikeable. Harrison's is the best, and shows signs of potential. The dialogue is meh. There's some good stuff, iffy stuff, and deplorable stuff. There's even an uncomfortable and unnecessary sex scene (though it doesn't show anything, thankfully).So I wanted to like it, but the only piece of comedy comes in the first ten minutes, and the failed crime aspect kind of ruin this film. However, it does entertain for the rest of the film and didn't make me cringe much outside of the few failed attempts of humor. So it's not the worst thing, but it's a failed attempt at best. Hollywood Homicide gets a 5/10. Had it succeeded in either aspect it promises, it could've been a great film, but it just isn't great. It isn't good. It isn't decent. And it isn't even mediocre.

nicnik6 Hollywood Homicide is well worth seeing. One could start with analyzing the title and end up with criticizing the driving, but are these really what make the audience like or dislike a movie? They are not, in my humble opinion. Remember that if your horizon of expectations is not met, this is reason enough to chew on what you have just watched. To me, this movie was unexpected. While others may want to call it a bad detective movie, I like to call it a lovely comedy, a parody of both Hollywood industry and the police world. While Josh Hartnett can be unexpected in many of his roles, Harrison Ford really outdid himself playing such a part. So people, if you want to unwind after a bad or tiresome day, do watch this one. It's underrated!

thebrenman Like the crusades, this movie was a "successful failure". It was a good thriller and comedy, even though it did not do very well in the box office. As a veteran to crime dramas, I know the best of the best. So I can say, that this movie was a partial "failure", but likely paved the way for other excellent crime dramas, such as the hit television series, "CSI: NY". "Hollywood Homicide" gave us an outline of what was going on for most of the movie, and had the most action scenes at the end. Most people likely misjudged the film because they did not stay to watch the last scenes.As I said before, as the movie went on, it got more amusing and funny. Such as the scene when Harrison Ford, and Josh Hartnett was being interrogated by Internal AffairsGreat actors, good plot(overall), and with a nice city(I'm biased towards L.A.), This movie gets 8 stars.

imdb-21622 I feel this movie is a bit in the vein of Get Shorty.It's a comic take on Hollywood and cop movies.I feel it just falls short of being as great of a movie as Get Shorty.For one thing, Harrison Ford's character is not that likable. His main schtick is trying to run real estate deals while solving a murder case. If we had some sympathy for him, this might work better.His partner is slightly more interesting, but also falls a bit flat in his role as a yoga loving, womanizing wannabe actor.That being said, the movie is good for some laughs. I found the interrogation scene pretty amusing. I found the final chase scene pretty amusing.Failing to find a better comedy on cable, this might be a possible choice for some mindless viewing.I should note that the plot is moderately complex, so you kind of have to pay attention at times IF you really want to understand the whole plot (I was surfing the internet while watching the movie, and missed some plot points.)
